This suggests that fewer people were watching TV during the 8pm hour compared with last Saturday and Britain's Got Talent was again the most-watched show of the day.

Britain's Got More Talent was also once again the most-watched multichannel show, with 1.399 million viewers(6.6%) in the 9pm hour. However, this was down on last week's series high of 1.788 million (7.6%).

Doctor Who was BBC1's most-watched show of the day and second only to Britain's Got Talent overall, with 5.845 million viewers (31.2%) over 45 minutes from 6.25pm.

Last Saturday's edition had a slightly higher audience, but a lower share – 5.904 million viewers (29.4%), again suggesting that the overall TV audience was down in the Doctor Who slot compared with the previous weekend.
